“We often want it so badly that we ruin it before it begins. Overthinking. Fantasizing. Imagining. Expecting. Worrying. Doubting. Just let it naturally evolve”

I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes

I've made this post like six times but it still fucks me up the China's mountains just look like that. Like I spent decades thinking it was stylistic but no, they just have different mountains over there.

I was just about to spiral into a bad panic attack, and my boyfriend goes "Stick an ice cube in your mouth." I'm not really sure where he got the idea, and I kinda laughed at it because I didn't see how it would help, but he was insistent. So I did it.

And now I'm on my second cube, because it worked.

Resonance: a Voltron/Star Wars Fusion

2.6k | Sheith | not part of Those Before Us | written for a zine that never went, so here it is | Happy May The Fourth :) summary:

Life as an officer in the Empire is predictable and monotonous. It’s all Keith knows. It’s all life is. It doesn’t matter if it’s not fulfilling.

At least, that’s what he thinks before Jakku.

Excerpt:

The pilot’s gaze flickers from Sendak to Keith.

Everything - slows. 

There’s fear in the pilot’s gaze, sure. Everyone’s afraid of Sendak. That isn’t what’s startling. What’s startling is the depths of those eyes, the way the light of too-many fires reflects in them. The pilot’s dark brown eyes stare back at Keith in a mingled mix of fear and determination, of startling courage and open terror, of surprise and just the hint of a desperate plea -

Keith’s breath catches in his throat. He’s stood at Sendak’s shoulder in front of prisoners before. This situation is no different. This shouldn’t be any different. This - 

“Take him away,” Sendak orders, and Keith’s whole world shifts.

He’s never seen eyes like that before.

If you leave a comment on a fic, you are the best person ever, and you just inspired that writer so much.

I just updated a fic that I hadn't updated in like a year and a half because someone left a comment. And I'm looking at working on my other fics because I reread the comments people left.

So please, leave a comment! Even if it's just a little thing that says, hey I really liked this! It means the world.
